Habitat '67--Moshe Safdie


I can not really say which particular building inspired me to become an architect(and I am not even sure if I have all the talent to become one).
It is because that there are so many amazing and exciting buildings been built every year and there are so many talented and provocative practising architects there. They opened my eyes and my mind. There are something alluring me in architecture.


But if I have to choose one building I would like to choose Moshe Safdie's Hebitat '67.
Before I seen the image of this building I never thought that a high density building can be built like this. The space are interesting and useful. But the pity is the building is now a high class people's space but not for middle or lower class people to live in as was the architect's original design purpose.
